SIBI-P1 G1657-01

the freedom-state

Morphological NotesNoun, feminine, singular; appears in nominative singular (NFS) and dative singular (DFS). The nominative functions as subject or predicate nominative; the dative expresses means, sphere, or advantage ("to/for/by freedom").
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "freedom-state" preserves the connection to ἐλεύθερος (free person) by expressing not merely an abstract idea but the condition or status of being free. As a feminine singular noun appearing in nominative and dative forms, it denotes either "the freedom-state" as subject or "to/for/by the freedom-state" in dative usage, maintaining its concrete grammatical role in the sentence.
